Lg G4 F500L - Fixing and Converting to International H815 Model

[redhatux]

Hi there I have a f500k. Do you think this method will work on my device also? I don't want to take chances as the Korean versions don't have kdz and may I know if the signal will work after the change as I live in India.

But you're having problems with your device?
This procedure is for anyone who is a dead device, the booting, risked a root and got fired for example.
In these cases it is worth trying, at least the machine go up. Not tested in F500K, but worth the test.

I have another sim which isn't working in this phone properly. But works in other phones and I hate the bloatwares in it. Or could you direct me a safe way to root and use xposed in my mobile. There are too many and am confused. Thank you.

Copy the prerooted system on your device internal storage. Download LG root and LG Driver from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772 and follow steps 7 8 & 9.
Then type "id" and press enter (no quotes).
You should get back some text starting with "uid=(0)root gid=(0)root".
And then this command,
dd if=/data/media/0/system.rooted.H81510c-EU.img bs=8192 seek=55296 count=529920 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
wait for the # to appear and type LEAVE to reboot your device.

Cool @romicigardo !
try to access the network settings and select the type of network. If you are locked up, you reboot your phone 2..3 times back to enable the networks. it works.

Taking advantage could tell if your NCF is working?

Network connection works but don't display any icons (3g H H+ 4G) on the status bar, i can connect with the internet, I just don't have indicator for the connection.

NFC works by the way, I tried sending file via android beam and it work.

YEHEY!!! I already have mobile data display. I deleted LTEconfig.apk and reboot the phone and now, my F5OOL runs like international version. Cheers.

 

[redhatux]

Good tip to delete LTEconfig.apk, had already asked it. Thank you

 

[kianjhay03]

I am stil confused, can anybody post a step by step guide to do this? If its not too much to ask.

1. FLASH THE ATTACHED KDZ FILE. Go here for instructions on flashing kdz file. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190

2. ROOT YOUR DEVICE. Download and copy the prerooted system on your device internal storage. Download LG root and LG Driver from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...vices-t3049772 and follow steps 7 8 & 9.
Then type "id" and press enter (no quotes).
You should get back some text starting with "uid=(0)root gid=(0)root".
And then this command,
dd if=/data/media/0/system.rooted.H81510c-EU.img bs=8192 seek=55296 count=529920 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
wait for the # to appear and type LEAVE to reboot your device.

3.RESTORE SIGNAL. As stated by OP. Download backupimg.zip, extract it then copy the folder backupimg on your device internal storage, DON'T RENAME. Install SSHDROID and busybox from play store on your phone and and download PUTTY application and install it on your pc. Try this link. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
Run the sshdroid (you need wifi connection). Run putty on your pc, click on ssh and connect your phone by typing the address shown on sshdroid app and then click load.

.After establishing connection a window will open

then copy and paste the following commands.

admin
cd /storage/emulated/0/backupimg/
dd if=aboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
dd if=abootbak.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p38
dd if=factory.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43
dd if=hyp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
dd if=hypbak.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
dd if=laf.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p37
dd if=modem.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=persist.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23
dd if=pmic.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
dd if=pmicbak.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10
dd if=raw_resources.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p45
dd if=raw_resourcesbak.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p46
dd if=rct.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34
dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p39
dd if=rpm.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
dd if=rpmbak.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
dd if=sbl1.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
dd if=sbl1bak.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
dd if=sdi.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
dd if=sdibak.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15
dd if=sec.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31
dd if=tz.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
dd if=tzbak.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11

Then disconnect and reboot your phone twice.

 

[love_rain_2303]

sorry, but ... How can I backup all my partition in my phone using dd command ?
ex : backup system.img with command : dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=65536 count=548352 of=/data/media/0/system.img
I wanna backup all my partition to /data/media/0/

OMG!!!
I try to Factory reset. Result is boot loop. Hic
What do I have to do?

There's no way. If entered bootloop have to do the KDZ flash again, and so forth...
If the extracted backupimg files are in the phone memory ... maybe to enter download mode you can run all the commands dd by ADB and Send_Command.

Is it possible to convert the H812 into the H815 international model? I don't even use the Canadian frequencies.

Does not work. The baseband of this howto is based on the Korean stock, where there are many peculiarities incompatible with other models.
